Green Harbor MA Captain’s Log

Electramate electric fishing reel kits are a great option for Penn Special Senator Reels. Professional Captains everywhere who fish for large species in 200 feet or more use these lightweight, powerful electric reels and the ELEC-TRA-MATE XP series delivers. They are widely used on kit rods in this area to target Bluefin tuna. Hook up and get the kite right back to the boat with the flip of a switch so you can focus your energy on bringing the fish to the boat. Elec-Tra-Mate XP series Electric reels are also ideal for Captains who fish for cod and other species that require increased power and speed. For increased line capacity while maintaining a lightweight and perfect balance, the 440-XP also fits the Penn Special Senator 113HL 4/0 and 113HLW 4/0 Reels.

I use my Electramate reel for bottom fishing and kite fishing. Load up your reel with 50lb powerpro and a mono topshot and you are ready to go. Electric reels tend to be expensive but the investment is worth the cost. I found a used 440Xp on ebay for less than half the cost of a new unit. Shop around and you can save yourself some money to spend on live baits.
